“A Kingdom within Empire”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Kingdom of Abrinier is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 852 million Abrinierians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Law & Order, although Defense, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and Public Transport are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Betvet. The average income tax rate is 29.6%.

The powerhouse Abrinierian economy, worth 58.3 trillion Orginan Chervonets a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Pizza Delivery, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 68,413 Orginan Chervonets, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Most academic research has ground to a halt, the weather in Betvet is always 'pigeons with a chance of droppings', professional athletes juggle part-time jobs to avoid bankruptcy, and violence is always the answer in Abrinier. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Abrinier's national animal is the Square toad, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Abrinier is ranked 105,530^th in the world and 5^th in Bepis for Highest Average Incomes, with 68,413.64 Standard Monetary Units.
